Freedom of choice the Islamic way: A woman’s anguish over the fate of Assyrian Christians

Sometimes it’s best to hear directly from those most harshly affected by the callous and feckless failures of Barack Hussein Obama. The letter below comes from a personal friend, Rebecca Simon, a patriotic American of Assyrian Christian descent.

Just last week my oldest daughter Aubrey and I watched one of our favorite movies, “The Last of the Mohicans.” What Rebecca Simon deeply fears is that she could be watching the same play out for her people, one of history’s great ancient civilizations. And yet the world dithers – especially our vacationing president.

If her letter — this plea to humanity — does not touch you, then join hands with those progressive socialists of the Democrat party who enabled the rise of Pol Pot’s Khymer Rouge and the killing fields of Cambodia.

The heart-rending fate of Assyrian Christians in Iraq haunts every corner of my being. I well up over the image of the fright in the circle of the tearful eye of a child next to the lifeless body of his mother. But the silent photos capturing a millisecond in the timeline of a genocide, don’t do justice to the horror of the calamity. The stories behind the still pictures must be even more horrific.

Yes, I admit. I am guilt-ridden.

I could have been one of those misfortunate Assyrian sisters in Iraq but by the grace of God, I was destined to be an American. I have witnessed my country’s history of unparalleled compassion towards the ill, the fallen, and the persecuted. Sadly, that history is not being played out on Assyrians. This isn’t because Americans have grown callous of worldly sufferings. No, not at all. The DNA of the magnanimous American is still intact. Rather, it is our new age government and the wicked villain in the White House that have misplaced the age-old American altruism.

To the wicked villain, a child in pain is the one whose Honduran parent paid thousands of dollars to have him adopted by America. A child in pain is the one who uses his tattooed and pierced body as a weapon in a street “knockout game.” A child in pain is one hoodied if-I-had-a-son trouble-maker capable of breaking a grown man’s nose bone.

The Assyrian Christian kids are not even worthy of being honored by Michelle O’s hash tag graphics. No doubt the kidnapping of 200 kids by Boko Haram being forced to convert to Islam was a tragedy. But equally tragic if not more so, is the forceful conversion to Islam of at least 200,000 Assyrians.

And where is the outrage by the Spanish bleeding hearts: Mr. & Mrs. Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz? In their delicate artistic mind, does a Palestinian child have more rights to life than an Assyrian child? One needs to read to these Spanish-Hollywood couple the bloody history of multi-centuried conquest of Spain by Muslims and the forceful conversion to Islam of the Christian Spaniards.

And where are the moderate Muslims in all this? An anti-ISIS demonstration and a fundraiser benefit by many of the alleged moderate Muslims who’ve done pretty well in the West will go a long way in legitimizing their “moderate” claims. They cry foul only when Islam is under attack but when Christianity is under assault, they see no evil, hear no evil. Maybe they like the evil, I’m beginning to think.

And where are the petro dollars of Saudis and the Kuwaitis who express their fear of ISIS? A few gold bath tubs and sinks in their villas could buy water for some thirsty Sinjar Mountain hikers in northern Iraq. But charity isn’t in the cultural make-up of the Muslims, especially if it is to be given to a persecuted infidel.

On the other hand, the world seems to be conflict-fatigued dealing with other people’s problems especially if it means some military involvement. They probably think: Been there. Done that.

In the meantime, one of the oldest races of people, the Assyrians, the recipients of the 21st Century’s first genocide award are dying a slow death on our big screen TV’s. So far, they’re just a news story till we find something newer to cover because advertisers know fresh stories are what keep the consumers’ attention and prevent them from switching the channel. By the time, the media and the administration buries the story of the Assyrian genocide, Assyrians will be buried too, by the tens of thousands — likely without a funeral.

But for now, Assyrians have an ISIS-style freedom–the liberty to choose their death arrangement: beheading or starvation. Yes, ironically, the freedom they didn’t have in life, they get in death.

Wonder if Michelle O and her spouse will discuss over the dinner table “this Assyrian choice” in their upcoming 16-day vacation. Perhaps they’ll rest at night knowing the media will portray some other entity as the villains of Iraq. The media plays the political god for these Godless people.

I hope this saga will be written by Godly historians and the Assyrian blood will stain the pages wherever B Hussein O’s name is printed. That may be the ultimate choice for the Assyrian martyrs…

Strong letter and a scary scenario. This blood lust will continue until the ISIS members are all dead. They have declared war on us and the best places to annihilate them is Iraq and Syria.

My heart breaks for all the people fleeing for their lives while the world pretends nothing is happening!! Islam is not peaceful, it did not form or contribute to this country as B. Hussein O said in his speech as he invited Muslims to celebrate in the White House!!

WHAT IS BARAK H. OBAMA’S EXCUSE FOR MEARLY PAYING LIP SERVICE TO THIS HUMAN TRAGEDY? DOES HE SEEM TO HAVE ANY COMPASSION FOR THESE INNOCENT CHRISTIANS? IT WOULD SEEM HE IS MORE INTERESTED IN PLAYING GOLF WITH TALL NEGRO MEN THAN BEING THE PRESIDENT OF WHAT IS QUICKLY LOSING ITS POSITION AS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!

Hamad

You know it’s funny how people all of a sudden care about Iraqi lives, how many Iraqis died as a result of the U.S. lying to go to war and bombing the hell out of Iraq?

Wanda Wisneski

BS you talk of a fool!

Hamad

That wasn’t very nice!

whyIoughta

I agree with Wanda. Go to Iraq Hamad. Go there and stay there. Our military takes great care not to kill civilians. Ours is the ONLY military that does. It’s because of weak minded people like you that we have this feckless president. You believe all the lies. It’s so pathetic it’s painful.

Hamad

I’m not so sure about that, if sexual assault is common within the American military, I don’t know that it would take great care to not hurt others.

Many people in America did not want the war! And many did care about iraqi lives! and a unjust wrong war does not change what is happening now! You can’t do nothing about the past! But their is a genocide happening now which was influenced by the government supporting,paying and training islamic terrorists like Isil! And something must be done to stop it!

If you don’t want to stop it.Than you are just like the other muslims! who only care about themselves not about all the minorities who are being massacred like the Assyrian Christian or Yazidas. Muslims will go crazy and hurt and even take peoples lives over a joke like the muhammad cartoons. But when Islamic group starts a massacre you muslims sit back and don’t say a word. Proving muslims are selfish and that Islam is all about violence!

Hamad

I support the american attack on ISIS, should have been done a long time ago. And I know this may shock you, but some Muslims such as myself do not like to see ANYONE being killed-Muslim or not.

Unless and until it can politically benefit him, he will do squat.

Eugenio Gonzalez

I recommed get the snipers n see what happens.

Kentucky red

We should be using the money our government gave to the Muslim Brotherhood to arm the Assyrians! We need to at least weaken ISIS and the other terrorist. Instead it seems our government would rather help the evil ones!

silon

its sad that while muslims throughout history and around the world persecute and kill nonmuslims. That the leaders,media and liberals stick up for muslims and say its a peaceful religion. I don’t care about either political side but its so pathetic the way liberals act!

silon

People need to stop turning this into their own agenda. The most important thing is to help these people and stop the genocide! After these people are protected than you can think about all the other political stuff! And neither political side is blameless both democrats and republicans helped make it easier for a group like this to massacre others! But the fact that politicians on both sides(especially democrats) do nothing, shows they don’t actually care!

There is NO SUCH THING as a “moderate” muslim. The refusal of American muslims to speak out and protest the behavior of their middle-eastern brethren speaks VOLUMES.
Islam is a foreign political, cultural and social system all wrapped into one. There is NO PLACE for Islam in American society. As such, NO Constitutional restraints nullifying government involvement need apply to this foreign political system. ALL muslims should be required to register as “agents of a foreign government” with the U S State Department pending mandatory deportation.
It seems to me that there is another “foreign political entity” in MY country that (deserves the same scrutiny) and has taken over American “foreign policy”, the entertainment and “mass-media” industries, and is overly influential with (and has “bought off”) America politicians. This entity is “hidden in plain sight” and has proven detrimental to the orderly working of MY country’s government. Adherents to this “foreign political system” should be treated the same as muslims. The same registration as “agents of a foreign government” should also apply.
The condoning of “dual citizenship” produces “dual loyalty” which is detrimental to our American “way of life”.
Dual citizenship should NEVER be allowed. Those with dual citizenship should be deported upon refusal to relinquish their foreign citizenship.
I will leave it to the gentle readers of this post to ascertain who the second group in my tome is…
